US Fed cuts 2027 rate-setting meetings to seven, adds strategy session
The US Federal Reserve has released an updated 2027 meeting schedule, reducing interest-rate decision meetings to seven while adding a strategy-only session in October. The final meeting is moved to November, with the next in January 2028.
The United States Federal Reserve has published an updated schedule for its 2027 monetary policy meetings, announcing that it will continue to hold eight meetings in total next year. However, the meeting originally planned for October 26-27 will now be dedicated exclusively to broad monetary policy strategy, meaning the number of meetings that set interest rates will be reduced to seven.
According to the revised timetable, the final scheduled meeting of 2027 has been moved to November 16-17, earlier than the originally planned December 7-8. The following meeting is now set for January 25-26, 2028.
In addition, on the Fed's updated policy meeting list page, the meetings scheduled for March, June and September 2027 no longer carry an asterisk. The asterisk had previously indicated meetings at which officials submit quarterly economic forecasts.
